Abstract :
A method of soft-decision decoding of Reed-Solomon codes is presented. This method is an iterative procedure where erasures only decoding is performed followed by a sequential procedure to determine the maximum likelihood estimate of the transmitted word. Results are given that compare this new method of soft decision decoding to more traditional soft decision decoding algorithms. The use of the sequential decoding method in an incremental redundancy system is discussed
